Full textThe olive tree and olive oil's history is inseparable from the History of the Corsican agriculture. The real nature of the culture of the olive tree and the production of the olive oil have been comprehended from the end of the XVIth century to the eve of the first world war. The olive landscape knew a great development during the modern age with the Serene highness Republic of Genoa; it pursuded on the XIXth century under the authority of the French administration. The study on the whole microregions of the island higlights the main part played by the comunities in the oleicol economy of the island. Concerning the olive tree in Corsica we notice an important diversity of trees not an uniquiness: diversity of the sorts of trees, of the cultural pratices, of ways to extract the oil, of landscapes... the economic impact of this culture during the era studied had been really important for Corsica. The olive tree is at the heart of the humans' concerns, it partially transformed the agriculture, the landscapes and the substructure of the transports, the rural architecture and took part in the emergence of an original regional micro society

Full textThe Persian Gulf region is the single largest source of fossil fuels in the world, which emphasizes its importance as the most strategically important waterway in the world. A bridge between East and West, the region facilitates contact between nations by providing energy and power through oil and gas exports to the industrial world at large. Countries bordering the shores of the Persian Gulf therefore play a vital role in maintaining balance of power and world peace through bilateral relations and beyond. Bahrain’s journey until the middle of twentieth century has been more adventurous due to its small size and strategic central location, which served as an invitation to foreign powers, rulers and regional empires to exercise their own influence whenever they chose to do so. Oil-rich Iran, with the stature of an empire on the other hand, has been more stable throughout. The differences between these two countries lies in ethnic makeup of the two nations, which is the bone of contention between the two neighbors. This thesis explores relationship and interaction between modern-day Kingdom of Bahrain and Islamic Republic of Iran, two vitally important countries, by tracing their background and cultural ties through the pages of history.
Giragosian, Sarah. "Queer creatures, queer times." Thesis, State University of New York at Albany, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3633190.
Full textQueer Creatures, Queer Times makes a critical intervention in queer theory and queer poetics through a combination of critical and creative approaches to explore how posthumanist thought and animal studies might correct a blindspot in current critical work on queer experience and texts. Queer theory tends to neglect non/human subjects, yet an ecological and posthumanist critique helps to trouble its humanist bias as well as its overly neat ties to constructivist and performative notions of selfhood. I argue that modern lyric poetry, in emergence during the cultural transmission of Darwinian precepts and the social invention of the homosexual, is uniquely situated to challenge the exclusivist principles that underlie specieisim, Social Darwinism, and heterosexism. While queer theory tends to overlook evolution in the construction of subjectivity and sexuality, I posit that such tendencies diminish opportunities for thinking through non-coherent selfhood and the radical contingency of beings upon other life forms. Accompanying my critical essays on three modernist queer poets, Djuna Barnes, Elizabeth Bishop, and Marianne Moore, are my poetics essay entitled "Towards a Poetics of the Animal" and my poetry manuscript Queer Fish. Both poetic texts explore non-dominant forms of queer relation between animals and humans.

This thesis first presents a measurement toolkit, Mahimahi, that records websites and replays them under emulated network conditions. Mahimahi improves on prior record-and-replay frameworks by emulating the multi-origin nature of Web pages, isolating its network traffic, and enabling evaluations of a larger set of target applications beyond browsers. Using Mahimahi, we perform a case study comparing current multiplexing protocols, HTTP/1.1 and SPDY, and a protocol in development, QUIC, to a hypothetical optimal protocol. We find that all three protocols are significantly suboptimal and their gaps from the optimal only increase with higher link speeds and RTTs. The reason for these trends is the same for each protocol: inherent source-level dependencies between objects on a Web page and browser limits on the number of parallel flows lead to serialized HTTP requests and prevent links from being fully occupied. To mitigate the effect of these dependencies, we built Cumulus, a user-deployable combination of a content-distribution network and a cloud browser that improves page load times when the user is at a significant delay from a Web page's servers. Cumulus contains a "Mini-CDN"-a transparent proxy running on the user's machine-and a "Puppet": a headless browser run by the user on a well-connected public cloud. When the user loads a Web page, the Mini-CDN forwards the user's request to the Puppet, which loads the entire page and pushes all of the page's objects to the Mini-CDN, which caches them locally. Cumulus benefits from the finding that dependency resolution, the process of learning which objects make up a Web page, accounts for a considerable amount of user-perceived wait time. By moving this task to the Puppet, Cumulus can accelerate page loads without modifying existing Web browsers or servers. We find that on cellular, in-flight Wi-Fi, and transcontinental networks, Cumulus accelerated the page loads of Google's Chrome browser by 1.13-2.36×. Performance was 1.19-2.13× faster than Opera Turbo, and 0.99-1.66× faster than Chrome with Google's Data Compression Proxy.

Full textEn replaçant la musique populaire dans le contexte d'une histoire de mémoire collective et de traumatisme de masse, cette thèse examine le parcours historique des mentalités coloniales et la généalogie de la modernité culturelle et de l'américanisation en Corée du Sud. En traçant les contours de deux histoires coloniales successives, de l'Empire japonais au contrôle du gouvernement militaire américain, les expériences modernes des Coréens font écho à la soumission implicite du récit colonial au sein du texte culturel, autorisée par le trope moderne des technologies occidentales le gramophone, la radio et les enregistrements phonographiques et la conciliation entre divers genres de musique populaire. Cette recherche explore comment les pratiques de consommation et de production de la musique populaire, s'enlacent intimement dans la formation de la modernité culturelle en examinant la commercialisation et la modernisation, avec le développement urbain. La représentation des expériences coloniales des Coréens dans le récit de la musique populaire a progressivement englobé les sentiments collectifs et les perceptions de masse des circonstances coloniales en insufflant le concept naissant de modernité occidentale/américaine dans les paroles et dans les performances, à travers plusieurs processus de modernisations macroscopiques dans la vie de tous les jours à l'intérieur de l'imaginaire colonial japonais. Par conséquent, le récit assujetti à l'empire japonais de l'expérience coloniale, dans les chants populaires, avait été renforcé par la mobilisation du militarisme japonais et des discours sur le « sujet impérial » à l'intérieur du corps impérial de la nation qui ont refait surface sous la forme de la soumission continuelle à l'intérieur des mentalités coréennes qui avaient repris les pleins pouvoirs après la libération du joug japonais durant les années 1950.

Full texts critique on modernity. Thus, the potential of suicide as a resistance to the primacy of life in modern times is discussed in a Foucauldian framework. From this point forth, with inspiration from existentialist thought, a hypothetical category of philosophical suicide is defined to emphasize a peculiar form which has a more radical potential to resist the pre-given and unconditional affirmation of life than any other form of suicide. Within this framework, the peculiarity of this hypothetical category of philosophical suicide is discussed by focusing on its radical potential to resist the mode of existence dictated by modernity.

Full textThis dissertation contributes to a scholarly understanding of Yoga in modern times by considering the dialectical tension between life-affirming goals in Yoga (health, balance, well-being) and the world-renouncing asceticism of the classical text, Patañjali’s Yogasūtras. In particular, I focus on the teaching tradition of the 19th century guru Tirumalai Krishnamacharya and the prominent teachers who learned from him, K. Pattabhi Jois, BKS Iyengar, and TKV Desikachar. Through a study of the classical text, historical commentators, recent scholarship, and modern teachers, I advance an understanding of the structure and general rubric of the Yogasūtras as a text that emphasizes process, the attainment of accomplishment/power, and ultimately the need for detachment from power. I further contend that this rubric may provide an insightful means for interpreting the Yogasūtras as an authoritative and informative text for Yoga in modern times. The teaching tradition of Krishnamacharya is notable for its effort to revive Yoga and the Yogasūtras within India and for an international audience. However, the core concept of detachment, while prominent throughout the Yogasūtras, appears to be at odds with the modern tradition, which emphasizes attachment oriented goals like health and well-being. Thus, I introduce a comparative study of detachment in the work of the 18th century Jesuit, Jean Pierre de Caussade, in order to further consider the dialectic between detachment, action, and love. The practice of Comparative Theology is perhaps most effective at creating a new light with which the individual can freshly examine her own tradition. The comparison between Caussade, Krishnamacharya, and the Yogasūtras highlights the role of devotion in relation to detachment and offers particular challenges and points for further consideration for the on-going tradition of Yoga in modern times

Full textPackaging food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics to store them and transport them has always been a necessity for humans, both as consumers and merchants. This study, which deals with both history and archeology, highlights the major role played by glass, in Provence, in the 18th and 19th centuries, as a packaging quality method. Since Antiquity, and until the present day, luxury products, fine wines, delicate olive oils, and perfumes have been protected and emphasized through their glass packaging. It is the ideal material because it has all of the necessary physical and chemical properties to become functional and aesthetic. When Provence set out, in the early decades of the 18th century, in merchant conquest of the seas, it had an economy based on the transformation of local or imported agricultural goods. The manufacture of packaging then saw a considerable rise in Provence tied to this economy. Glass containers were then exported throughout the world, by sea, thanks to the combined action of favorable factures: the international reputation of the port of Marseille as well as the technical progress tied to the adoption of a new energy source : coal extraction. Influenced by the example of other regions, both French and European, Provencal glassworks underwent a notable metamorphosis which led to the gradual abandonment of forest glasshouse for port locations. Written and iconographic sources constitute a large part of our documentation supplemented by field sources. These are mainly tied to the discovery and recent study of shipwrecks as well as the survey of a diversified archeological inventory, derived from public and private collections

Full textThis dissertation analyzes the response to the country’s debate on education in the Diário dos Campos newspaper, acknowledging the participation of Ponta Grossa intellectuals (Jacob Holzmann, Hugo Mendes de Borja Reis and José Cadilhe) in publicizing educational ideas. This analysis goes from 1907 to 1928, basing itself on fragments which were published in this newspaper in addition to the concept of the intellectual as an organizer of culture as discussed by Antonio Gramsci and in the interpretation of discourse in Bakhtin’s circle. This article discusses the role of intellectuals in the process of organizing and spreading a view of the world marked by the symbols of modern times and public education. Founded on documentation, it is possible to show that this group, in the newspaper, established a means of communication within the educational discussions promoted in the major cities of Brazil and reasserted education’s salvationist discourse to fight illiteracy and the social problems existing in the city of Ponta Grossa.
Esta dissertação analisa a recepção do debate educativo nacional no jornal Diário dos Campos, privilegiando compreender a participação dos intelectuais pontagrossenses (Jacob Holzmann, Hugo Mendes de Borja Reis e José Cadilhe), na divulgação das ideias educativas. Este percurso analítico está circunscrito ao período de 1907 a 1928, apoiando-se nos fragmentos publicados neste periódico e no conceito de intelectual como organizador da cultura, discutido por Antônio Gramsci, e na acepção de discurso do círculo de Bakhtin. Discorre ainda sobre o papel dos intelectuais no processo de organização e de disseminação de uma visão de mundo marcada pelos símbolos da modernidade e da educação popular. Com base na documentação acessada é possível indicar que o grupo do jornal estabeleceu uma interlocução com as discussões educativas promovidas nas principais cidades brasileiras, e reafirmou o discurso salvacionista da educação para combater o analfabetismo e os problemas sociais que se apresentavam na cidade de Ponta Grossa.

Full textIn early modern Sweden, intentional blasphemy was regarded as one of the most serious crimes one could commit. Blasphemy was termed “Crimen Laesae Majestatis Divinae” – “a crime against Our Heavenly Majesty” and was subject to the death penalty. From the 1680´s it was possible to be pardoned from death sentences already delivered by the courts of appeal by applying to the “Judiciary Inspection”, (Sw. Justitierevisionen) In early modern times the definition of blasphemy was influenced by the medieval scholastic view according to which God was perfect. The sourcematerial for the present thesis are 110 petitions for mercy in cases of blasphemy that came up before the council during the period 1680-1789. The cases studied can be divided into the following categories: Blasphemy against God, blasphemy against the sacraments, deliberate assignations wiht the Devil and “other blasphemies”. There was no Church law in Sweden before 1686 and a common law for the whole country did not exist before 1734. The Bible´s ten Commandments where added as an appendix to the already existing medieval laws, reiterated in 1608. An individual found guilty of blasphemy underwent both secular and church punishment. At least nine individuals (we lack information about some cases due to material that has been lost) where not pardoned by the council. The secular punishments included death by beheading or burning at stake, when the sentence was reduced some kind of corporal punishment – running the sauntlet, flogging, imprisonment on a diet of bread and water or a life time of labor. Church punishment was public shaming and meant that the accused had to sit on a special chair in church during the services and publicly ask God and the members of the congregation for forgiveness. This kind of punishment was meted out in Sweden until the late 18th century.Blasphemy is a complicated act that should be defined according to the norms of the society in which it occurs. There are two processes that have to be taken into considerations when studing the crime of blasphemy in early modern Sweden – the centralization of the government and the unification of the church according to the Lutheran creed.In the early modern society people lived in what has been called a “religious culture”, where religion was self-evident, collective concern. Within this context atheism, in the modern meaning of the word, was supposedly unimaginable.The theoretical framework of the study is inspired by Peter Burke’s theories of the reformation of popular culture. Measurements taken by the elite have usually been regarded as active and aggressive, while popular culture has been regarded a homogeneous passive mass that adjustes itself to demands from above. One of the primary aims of this thesis is to study how verbal statements, actions and attitudes reflected popular conceptions that could either be close to or far distant from the learned ideas of the elite. By dividing popular attitudes discerned in the cases studied into four groups corresponding to a kind of mental strata, a more varied image of popular culture is achieved. Blasphemy in early modern Sweden was a crime committed mainly by men, especially when it comes to expressing ideas about the Devil or attempting to contact him. Very few women were accused of blasphemy; of 117 individuals accused, only nine were women.

Full textThe present dissertation s study objective is the social reality and paradigmatic crisis of knowledge contained in the cultural constellation alongside, as well as its perceived effects in the legal universe. Because of its practical ends it culminates in proposing to the jurist a (re)connection of knowledge to provide a more appropriate source in understanding and solving social problems. In order to do so, our work contemplates basically three parts: in the first part, which comprises chapters 1 to 3, we have recorded the historical unfolding of modern times and its consequences. In the second part, which comprises chapter 4, a field research is presented, where the social perception of issues surveyed has been gauged. At the end, chapters 6 and 7, we examined the Law s predominant characteristics, and studied a proposal of knowledge convergence that could aid the development of a critical view for the existing model, envisioning the recovery of an ethical dimension in the legal universe

Para tanto, nosso trabalho contempla basicamente três partes: na primeira, que compreende os capítulos 1 a 3, fica registrado o desenrolar histórico da modernidade e suas conseqüências. Na segunda parte, que compreende o capítulo 4, foi apresentada uma pesquisa de campo, onde foram aferidas a percepção social das questões levantadas. Ao final, nos capítulos 6 e 7, foram examinadas as características dominantes do Direito, e estudada uma proposta de convergência de saberes que auxiliasse no desenvolvimento de uma visão crítica do modelo existente, com vistas ao resgate da dimensão ética do universo jurídico

Full textDenna studie analyserar Francesco De Grattas (1613-1676) ekonomiska och administrativa karriär som kunglig postmästare, kunglig sekreterare och köpman i det polsk-litauiska samväldet. Denna undersökning är främst inriktad på nätverks- och karriärsanalys och bygger på olika arkivkällor från en rad europeiska arkiv och bibliotek, främst från Italien, Polen och Tyskland. Studien presenterar familjen De Gratta och de familjära sociala strategier som Francesco använde för att förankra sin familj i det polsk-litauiska samväldets adelskultur. Därefter visar analysen att De Grattas karriär kan förstås mot bakgrund av upprättandet av det tidigmoderna kungliga postsystemet i Gdańsk (Gdańsk hade en viktig överbryggande roll inom Polen-Litauen), liksom hans nära kontakter med olika polska kungar och drottningar. Hans karriär följde olika distinkta steg som möjliggjorde för honom att närma sig kronan, adeln och köpmännen i Gdańsk. År 1654 blev han huvudpostmästare i Gdańsk och 1661 fick han ämbetet som huvudpostmästare för Kungliga Preussen, Kurland, Semgallen och Livland. Senare utvecklade Francesco De Gratta sin kreditverksamhet parallellt med utbyggnaden av sitt kontaktnätverk med kungliga preussiska städer, kungliga myndigheter och inte minst olika polska myntmästare. Han blev också involverad i handel med pottaska (kaliumkarbonat) tillsammans med sin svärson Jan Wawrzyniec Wodzicki, först som hans agent och senare som delägare i Wodzickis företag. Slutligen spårar studien Francesco De Grattas sociala och ekonomiska framåtskridande genom en analys av hans arv och dess betydelse för hans arvingars sociala status. Sammanfattningsvis jämförs Francesco De Grattas karriär med andra postmästare och myntmästare av italienskt ursprung i Polen-Litauen.

Full textIf the presence of a glass activity seems known only from the 14th century on in the South-West of France, it's truly in the 16th century that it spread and reached its peak, given the numerous workshops established at this time. Comparing the written archives and « ground archives », this study aims to shed light on the evolution of glass production between medieval times and modern times, and on the connections between glass-blowers, merchants and producers of raw materials necessary to the production of glass. The trade flows springing from this glass activity highlight the significant economic activity generated from local plants near forest ressources necessary for the working of glass ovens. These local plants supply regional economy favouring trade and developing an ecosystem based around transport, banking and bartering. One of the main characteristics of this trade is that it linked up two maritime areas, the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic Ocean, on an axis from La Rochelle to Narbonne. The study of the glass objects made in this geographical area tends to show that the production is varied, both in terms of the types of objects and of the shapes created. Only a few particular local productions seem to be destined to a local or regional market

Full textIn the seventeenth century, Dijon, capital of the province, was the place where proposed members of the political, administrative and financial bodies chose to live. The city therefore experienced a remarkable boom in the construction of private residences. The builders were mainly officers of the sovereign courts, members of parliament or advisors to the Board of Auditors who wanted to satisfy their need for social representation by ordering houses worthy of their rank : the private mansion was the illustration of people of power, place both a demonstration of social standing, architectural and artistic.This study, the first synthesis of the private mansions of Dijon from 1610 to 1715, is approached according to three lines of thought: the commissioners, the architects and their constructions. The architectural analysis of mansions which leaves a large part to the distribution, allows the comparison with Paris and other major cities of the parliamentary kingdom

Full textMainly based on pottery and other finds, this doctoral thesis tries to establish a chronology of the medieval settlement of the Cottbus old town quarter in the area between Spremberger Strasse, Schlosskirchstrasse and Burgstrasse This approach proves a settlement of the quarter at the town periphery and its inclusion into urban planing since the first third of the 13th century. Following recent research in regional history, the city construction at the beginning of the 13th century might indicate to Konrad von Landsberg as a founding initiator of the largest town in Lower Lusatia. The mostly ground level building structures of the 13th century have been preserved only partially. Therefore, a distinction of certain activity zones as well as of plots and structures is possible only to a limited extend. Reliable indications of an older plot structure and the usage of areas do not exist until the 14th century. Buildings are characterized by a front house with side wings of which only the cellars have been preserved. Wells for the water supply of the plots were found in the yard area. Numerous latrine buildings on the rear edge of the plot served for disposal. Of outstanding importance are the findings of the buildings that were destroyed by one or more city fires (probably that of 1478). The extensive archaeological material of these findings provides a comprehensive insight into a late medieval household at the end of the 15th century. Modern finds and findings were recorded only occasionally, not only because of the increasing written tradition. Already the archaeological investigations focused mainly on the medieval structures. Stone buildings did not exist in this area until the 16th century. As the place was not rebuild after the Thirty Years' War, what partially continued until the beginning of the 18th century, the older medieval structures have been well preserved in the soil.

Full textIn the research of the art of urban development, the fine arts are mainly taken into account. The question of the technical arts is seldom raised, even though the architect’s design is a work of personal intuition as well as of the technically possible. In order to recognize the construction scheme and the planning intention in the urban planning of Early Modern Times it is necessary to merge the history of urban development with the history of technology. The construction and surveying methods described in the essays of the geometria practica and the architectura militaris are compared to the urban planning of the Early Modern Times. In case studies reaching from urban planning at the close of the Middle Ages to Baroque city expansion it is shown how the planning tools influenced the design language of the architect and the form language of urban development. The paradigm shift in Middle European urban planning took place at the end of the 15th century with the construction of Annaberg and Marienberg in the Ore Mountains. The rhythmic and spatial floor plan design still used in Annaberg was abandoned for a leveled out town plan in Marienberg. Deliberations of city structure and hygiene lead to this change. The design of the layout itself, however, was dictated by the implemented tool. In the Baroque period, geometry was available to the planers as general cultural knowledge and technology: the use of geometrical forms and proportions determined the design process. Geometry was not only planning method, but became planning intention – as can be seen by the Berlin Gate Plazas built in the beginning of the 18th Century. Not only do the names given - Rondell, Oktogon and Quarré – refer to the squaring of the circle, but the reconstruction of the design measurements proves the connection. Only the development of practical geometry enabled the variable form language of Baroque city construction.

Full textArt as play is not only a metaphor. It is the particular form of many works of art, especially contemporary models and miniatures. Play itself is nowadays represented or staged in numerous exhibitions. However, the artist is not a player like any other but a professional player in contrast to the figure of the non-artist or amateur artist defended by avant-garde artists who had raised play to the level of art. While the consumption of art takes the form of large-scale entertainment and we witness a Disneylandisation of museums, contemporary art as play no longer seems as subversive as it did in the sixties. Yet art as play as model and tool for social change endures. It is an art of attitude, heir to the last avant-gardes, standing outside the usual boundaries of art and an art that achieves the desired by Allan Kaprow and the Situationists

Full textThe study of the functioning and of the urban fabric of Vendôme between the 11th and the beginning of the 19th century offers a different interpretation of small towns showing the great complexity of the urban phenomenon in a type of town often regarded as the simple result of the construction of a castle. As a matter of fact, a town is the result of a large number of time and space units in which the time of the people involved in various projects is not the same as the time of structures. To start with, the concepts and the modeling rules of urban fabric used in this research are defined (part 1). Then, the study of Vendôme in the longue durée allows to distinct four main phases in the urban functioning for which the projects fulfilled by various actors are analyzed as well as their impact on urban space (part 2). Finally, urban structures are considered both from a morphological and functional point of view through a model based on the diversity of urban objects such as plots, street system, buildings etc. which have their own timing but interact with each other (part 3)

Full textIn the 10th century, the Church from Savoy is in a very poor state. Weakened by various invasions, the secular clergy struggles to recover. Monks from major abbeys are sent by the episcopate influencing the creation of priories on the diocesan land. These religious houses settle permanently and play an important role in the life of the parishes hosting them. While regular priories had to face different fates, some of them are still conventual in the modern era. The different bishops count five conventual priories, but only four of these were founded around the 10th century. These are the priories of Bellevaux en Bauges, Peillonnex, Talloires and Contamine. This study focuses on the role of these institutions in the context of the Catholic Reformation introduced in the diocese during the last decades of the 16th century. The study is based on three main points. The first point traces back the evolution of the priories from their foundation until the introduction of the Reform movement in Geneva. The second part concentrates on the story of the monasteries over three centuries under the Ancien Regime. The last part is more thematic as it outlines how the conventual priories influence the political, religious and economic life of the Annecy-Geneva's diocese in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries
